Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Po$$e$$ion$

Money is the power door key
To buy people, places and things.
The richer, the more choices be
To wield power that money brings.
Just a handful of humans own
Most of the wealth that does exist.
They tend to lurk behind the throne,
Tweaking each other's shopping list
For pawns to give star roles onstage,
Be it a pope or president
Who acts the part in gilded cage,
Bought and paid for till worth 'tis spent.

The rich seek money games to play.
What and who will they buy today.
